It has been three days since Ari brought Zahrana to his house to ask for their blessing, but was rejected outright by his mother.
Aridiansyah stared fiercely at her mother who forced her way into her room that day. Indeed, since the incident, Ari locked himself in his room. He did not want to get out of the place of his complaint, even he threatened to resign from his job if his parents did not also approve of his relationship with Zahrana.
"What else is it, Mom? Ari already said, Ari does not want to hear anything unless I approve Ari married Zahrana..." Then walk back to his bed.
"But why should Zahrana, Zainab's daughter, son?" asked his mother to sound good. Ari's Mother's voice turned soft that time. He walked in closer to Ari.
"Where is Zahrana wrong if she's Bu Zainab's daughter, Mom? She's a nice girl... He is able to make Ari feel happy in Ari's life. He also made Ari forget all the pain Ari felt..." Obviously Ari seemed to be out of thought with his mother's dislike of Zahrana or Bu Zainab.
"Mom doesn't like it..." His mother's answer sounded clean.
"But what is the reason, Mom? At least give Ari an explanation for why you don't like Zainab's family..." Ari started to look at her mother.
"Just I don't want to mess with the woman you pay to be your nanny first..." Said Ari's mother increasingly kekeh at his stance.
Ari shook her head in disappointment, "Mother is weird..." He said with a mocking look.
"Whatever, you! The important thing is that you disagree with your decision. You as a child must obey the parents, Ari..." Mother's grunts were about to pass out of Ari's room.
"Well, ma'am, if that's Mom's decision, let Ari get away from mom and dad's life... Maybe all this time we could meet and gather once a month, but after this, I'll never see Ari again..." Ari's words were not just a threat, he showed his deftness by rushing to pack his things into a suitcase.
Ari's mother turned around. His face was panicked with fear. He pursued Ari's position and tried to prevent the departure of his only child from the house.
"Patri... Please, son... Please don't make it difficult for me... Please..." Pinta Ari's mother. His eyes are red and teary.
"Mother who has been making things difficult for Ari... Aside from Zahrana and her family, did you ever take care of Ari? Did you ever question Ari's situation?" Ari looked at her mother intently without expecting an answer, because she already had the answer.
Ari's mother fell silent. He was no longer able to speak, even to return his son's gaze he seemed unable.
"Mom never did it for Ari, Mom... Ari herself all this time... In this big house alone, learn by yourself, eat by yourself, play by yourself, everything by yourself... Mom and Dad never even took the time to attend every time there was a school invitation... Only Ari has no parents even though Ari's parents are still alive..." Ari said as if answering his own question to his mother.
Ari dropped herself resting at her mother's feet. She cried while holding her mother's calf. "Please, Mom... No more pinta Ari than Ibu restui Ari with Zahrana..." He said again, pleading.
Ari's mother tried to hold back her tears even though her tears had fallen freely on her cheeks.
Ari slowly smiled as she looked up at her mother's face. "Really, Mother?" Ari asked as if she was still hesitant to believe.
"But there are conditions..." Cetus Ari's.
"Here-requisites?" Ari rubbed his wet cheek rough, then rose to look at his mother.
"Yes... The conditions that you must meet if you insist on marrying his daughter Zainab..." Ari's mother's words showed her pride.
"What conditions, Mom?" Ari asked doubtfully.
"After you get married, you should stay in the house you chose. You can't stay with their families..." Said Ari's Mother.
"That's all, Mom?" Ari asked seemed happy to return after hearing the terms from her mother so easily, although she herself did not know what reason her mother asked for such a thing.
"Yes, that's all..." Nod Ari's mother. "That's also if she's willing to be your wife later..." Her mother still looks haughty.
"alright, Mom... Whatever the requirements of Mother, Ari must follow. The important thing is that I approve of Ari marrying Zahrana..." Ari said pleasure. He immediately hugged his mother.
For that time Ari never thought, I don't know when the last time he hugged the figure of the woman who became his mother.
Ari's mother gasped, she felt a warmth she had never felt for so long. He also doubted when the last time his son embraced him, and it was also for the sake of Zahrana.
